We are right off rue Montorgueil, a pedestrian only area of shopping and eateries. Â We had been here before, of course, on previous trips to check out markets and market streets. Â We even rented an apartment a few blocks away with Shoe, Carol, Lou, and Sandy. Â There is even a quincallage or hardware store right down the block. Â More importantly, there is a fromagerie (cheese shop), a butcher, wine & spirits, a natural food market, a fishmonger, chocolate shops, pastry shops, and bakeries.
But, I’ll let food critic and author, David Lebovitz describe the area in his blog!
The fromagerie is still decorated for Christmas on Rue Montorgueil
Today was the day for for an omelette for lunch (Cafe Marie Stuart), a stroll to the Seine – at 28 degrees F and with an overnight dusting of snow – even les bouquinistes (those riverside vendors) were closed! A quick warm-up at BHV, the department store with a hardware store in the basement. Â I love checking out the latest trends in plumbing fixtures, etc. Â Then a hop on the metro to head back to stock up on coffee and water, the basic staples of life, for breakfast in the morning. And, after shopping – dinner out!

Dinner was at  just down the street at Aux Tonneaux des Halles .  Mike had tete au veau! Said he thought he would never locate it on a menu in Richmond and he had to try it once!
